I suspect that the tidbit was groundless and was pulled when it was emphatically denied.

Just like everything else folks have taken as fact in the last few days.

Never. Couldn't be. I mean, every piece of info that the media has soaked up like toilet paper on the bathroom floor has been 100% accurate. YOU TAKE THAT BACK, "LUCKY JIM."

No wait, the complex issues had to do with a shapeshifter taking the form of Adam Jones, and an alien presence taking over several members of the Seattle front office and media.

SOMEONE CALL FOX MULDER!!!

I have long thought that Bedard showed a lack of emotion that I've only seen in super soldiers. However, strained muscles do not shut down super soldiers.:002_sbiggrin:

FWIW My boss lives in the same area has PA, and there are rumors of family issues that could have a profound affect on his family life and maybe even the team. From that pressure and being older it could be some health issues, or he could have the stomach flu that is going around. If so he will be out of commission for at least 2 days.

I just can't stop thinking to myself how this organization continues to get itself into these types of situations. I don't know what happened in the Roberts deal or this, or last year or whatever. But as the saying goes, where there is smoke there is fire. THis sure stinks.

Angelos better wake up and realize even the indication that he is holding this up makes the organization look bush league. I don't see why any team would ever get into serious negotiations with us. Bvasi must be thinking to himself that he wasted his entire winter on a goose chase.

They can put Ray and Baez on the 60 day DL and free up two spots, but when can they do that...now? That would allow Jones and Sherrill, and Tillman doesn't have to be on the roster yet. And of course Bedrard's spot would be vacated, so there's another spot.

Is there another trade, maybe Roberts, that would require more space? So, if it's the 40 man roster that is the problem, who goes???? Are they trying to void Gibbons' contract? That would be complex.

I am no GM what about getting rid of Jon Leicester what has he done?

Cal Ripken is coming out of retirement and will therefore take up another spot on the 40 man.

Man I finally stopped bothering with these rumors acouple weeks ago then this had to happen and I got interested (since I thought it was legit) and now I'll be checking every 10 minutes for at least a week. This was clearly a plot by OH to get me/others to check the board more.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
